Sony Movies Now Available On 360's Netflix

There was a problem last week when the New Xbox Experience rolled out - and Netflix support rolled out along with it - yet Sony's movies were unavailable. Boneheads made conspiratorial mutterings. Netflix were more sensible.

The online movie company issued a statement last week saying "we hope they'll be licensed for Xbox 360 shortly". When Netflix say "shortly", they mean "shortly", as (most of) Sony's movies are now up and available for download. Least, the important ones are. Go knock yourselves out.

Can't count the number of Pro-MS fan blogs and pod casts that threw out their ideas of how Sony was pulling their movies from Netflix for reasons unbenounced to them. Stupid if you ask me since other Sony pictures were available. lol

at least sonys making some money somewhere since there ps3 gaming department isnt working out like they thought it would. But dont worry to much theres always the year 2017 that will be the year sony takes over... :]

If Sony is not making money of the gaming department "even though they have been outselling the X360 worldwide since launch" then, what is MS making with the X360 failure rate and the millions of dollars in warranties? the failed Zune, Vista and the HD-dvd add-on?

The problem with your fact is how long ago did was that? From what i have heard that they stated they are now in the profit margin, Big one? no of course not and from the SONY side they are in debt as well with the PS3 and i also heard the VAIO isnt that hot either... it goes both ways you need to spend to make money and they only company i see spending is MS right now

i wonder why at first sony wasnt letting netflix have there movies on 360 then 4 days later they let them have em .. not like theres much change, all i still see on netflix is wyatt earp big trouble in little china along with ab work out and kung fu master 12... guess the negotiations were short.. "They own justin timberlake " i think that might be part of the problem ...

Netflix already has partnerships with the movie studio's to distribute their movie content through a variety of different mediums so the fact that micro paid Netflix to make their service available through the 360 doesn't really line sony's pockets with gold they will likely get the same royalties from each movie downloaded/rented as they would have gotten from anybody who uses Netflix service whether its 360 customers or just any random guy on the internet.

Wow its so funny many sony folks were just talking crap about how sony pulled their movie support to hold the 360 back now with this deal suddenly they've changed their tune......how convenient=

all I know is a few days ago it was great sony was playing dirty, etc, etc,.

Now it's all good and msft throws away money. Msft didn't pay anything extra cuz they just partnered with netflix. Someone in sony's camp told them about a little something called trademark infringment and sony had to rethink their strategy.

On a side note how the hell does this news hurt some of you as gamers???

who says that Microsoft had to pay Money to Sony for this? It was obvious that this was going to end up in the court room since there is no reason why NetFlix is able to distribute the movies via computer and their standalone movie stream device and not on the xbox 360 just for the heck of it.

Why would Microsoft have to pay a fee to Sony if this services is for the Netflix Subscriber who's already paying for the service. This is not for the xbox live subscriber.

On this Sony tried to see if they can screw Microsoft and the xbox 360 but it was too obvious that they tried but realized it was going to bite them in their @$$..

Why should microsoft pay for something that Netflix is paying for? It's not like an xbox 360 user can use Netflix service without having an Netflix account.

So, for those thinking that Microsoft is paying for this... lol.. you are wrong. The issue was between Netflix and Sony.

this is very similar to Sony licensing a movie HBO and then Sony trying to ask Toshiba for a license fee for viewing the movie... when

a) HBO already paying for it. b) You need HBO to watch it.

Right... Microsoft paying $h!t for this as they should. They only money Sony is getting from microsoft are the movies on xbox live movie marketplace.
